Bio

Yvan Caillaud has a degree in industrial design and opened his studio in Brussels in 2018. By creating lyrical and unexpected experiences, its design leads users to revel in their everyday lives. The studio approaches design in the conception of objects, furniture, lighting and scenography, from conception to completion. It follows an editorial line sensitive to the narrative and poetic dimension of the object, while adopting an industrial logic. His approach is built on a constant back-and-forth between the fields of design and reference universes, materials and know-how, form and narrative, body and mind.
